Foods coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will be able to get this coverage

back.

When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan?

You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with All American Quality Foods and

don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay

a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later.

If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly

premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month

that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage,

your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You

may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug

coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.
